01

House party flash

Using my photo as the face reference, make a harsh direct-flash photo of me at a crowded late-2000s house party, a vintage leather jacket over a striped tee, skinny black jeans, messy bedhead hair and smudged eyeliner, colored party lights behind me, blown-out highlights, a candid laugh.

02

Front row at the gig

Show me in the front row of a small indie gig, damp hair, a faded vintage tee, arms in the air, a guitarist blurred in the foreground, red and blue stage lights, grainy flash, pure euphoria on my face.

03

Sunglasses at 3 a.m.

Frame me walking a city street at 3 a.m. in oversized black sunglasses, a sequined top under a leather biker jacket or a skinny tie with a slim blazer, taxi lights streaking past, harsh flash, a deadpan cool expression.

04

Club bathroom mirror

Make a mirror flash photo of me in a sticker-covered club bathroom, the walls a collage of flyers with no legible words, a compact digital camera held at chest height, a metallic jacket and messy hair, the flash bouncing off the mirror, my face clearly recognizable.

05

Rooftop at dawn

Show me on a rooftop at dawn after a long night out, a metallic gold jacket over a band-style tee with no names, city lights fading below, a soft pink sky, tired happy eyes, grainy early-digital-camera color.

06

White wall flash portrait

Create a flash portrait of me against a bare white wall, shiny metallic leggings with an oversized tee or high-waisted jeans with a neon hoodie, a thick knit headband, a hard flash shadow behind me, a playful, awkward pose.

07

Fixed-gear bike at night

Capture me leaning on a fixed-gear bike outside a corner shop at night, skinny jeans, a plaid shirt and a canvas messenger bag, a flickering streetlight overhead, grainy flash, a cocky grin.

08

Thrift-store couch after-party

Seat me sprawled on a thrift-store couch at an after-party with friends, strings of lights taped to the wall, a faux fur vest over a tee, glitter on my cheeks, harsh flash, a cheeky look.

09

Warehouse dance floor

Picture me dancing in a packed warehouse party, glitter and confetti in the air, a shiny lamé dress or a vintage blazer over a white tee, strobe lights, motion blur caught by the flash, my face sharp.

10

Instant photo wall

Make an instant photo of me pinned to a wall of party snapshots, messy hair and a trilby hat, smudged mascara, washed-out flash color, a crooked white border, a sleepy, knowing smile.

11

Muddy summer festival

Show me at a muddy summer music festival, rubber boots, a vintage denim jacket and a woven headband, a grey sky and colorful flags behind me, flash on an overcast afternoon, a carefree grin.

12

Taxi back seat

Frame me in the back seat of a taxi at night, city lights smearing past the window, a leopard-print faux fur coat, big sunglasses pushed up into my hair, flash and grain, laughing mid-sentence.

13

House party DJ

Capture me DJing at a house party behind a small table of decks and a glowing laptop, a trucker cap with no logo, an oversized vintage tee, headphones around my neck, colored fairy lights and a crowd of raised hands, harsh flash.

14

Black and white on the curb

Create a grainy black-and-white flash photo of me sitting on a curb outside a music venue at night, a leather jacket and a skinny scarf, smudged eyeliner and bedhead, a candid, tired smile.

15

Crowded kitchen digital snap

Keeping my face exactly as it is in my photo, make a low-resolution late-2000s digital-camera photo of me crammed into a kitchen with friends at a party, a date stamp in the corner, blown-out flash, a striped tee and skinny jeans, a goofy face.

FAQ

Indie sleaze photo ideas: questions

What is indie sleaze?

Indie sleaze is the messy party style of roughly 2006 to 2012: skinny jeans, leather jackets, vintage tees, metallic leggings, headbands, big sunglasses at night, smudged makeup and bedhead hair, captured in harsh direct flash at gigs, house parties and city streets.

How do I get the flash look?

Ask for harsh direct on-camera flash with blown-out highlights, a dark background, hard shadows and slightly washed-out color. A low-resolution late-2000s digital camera or a date stamp adds to it.

Is indie sleaze the same as Y2K?

No. Y2K is the glossy, futuristic early 2000s, with metallics, low-rise jeans and bright pop colors. Indie sleaze came later and is grungier and more chaotic: thrifted, dark and caught mid-party.
